    Oval Chamber Pistons

    That's all, only 6 turbos? If you're gonna do it, do it........put at least 8 on there.

    BC connecting rods for the D Max

    Bruce Crower (dad) is in his 70's, been doing speed equipment for about 50yrs. Younger brother Dave is over 70 and has been working with the company since the 60's. The "son" is no kid and he's been around this stuff all his life.

    Can't call it a Duramax but.......

    It's not running yet, just on exhibit at the races. Another couple weeks and it should be making noise.

    Can't call it a Duramax but.......

    Nasty Girl went through 4(5?) engines before it got to Curtis. The engine he built lasted 2-1/2, 3yrs, went 10.3 and the owner ran the piss out of it. The truck was then sold but customs wouldn't let it across. To look presentable for customs the new owner changed it back to stock turbo...

    Intercooler boots and clamps for high boost #'s?

    If they're splitting, Vortex boots have 4 layers of fabric and are very strong. I split a couple others but not a Vortex. If there's a large gap between a couple pipes, regular hose clamps on that unsupported section will keep it from bulging. If they're blowing off the pipe.....with mine an...

    Real world mpg?

    My LLY was getting about 18 highway, stock with Edge/Attitude on #3. After Mike L did the trans and a 6sp conversion, highway went to about 19-19.5......this was down around sea level. Then stock and MPI twins (stock turbo) with Rob's EFI tunes, first fillup coming back from Boise was 22mpg...

    Fuel Cooler

    I like how that thing isn't bulky and they come in different lengths. Does it work well enough to use instead of the conventional radiator type?

    LML Rods

    Hell yes, nothing to it. Anybody with a mill can do a set of rods. Diesel or gas doesn't matter. Have at it.

    Fuel Cooler

    A FICM gets very hot sitting on the valve cover. Fuel has to be hotter after going through that thing. Seems like moving it to cooler place would be an improvement, then keeping fuel out of it. Also maybe wrap the fuel line with heat repelling insulation.

    Coolant flowing into crankcase

    Don't drive it with coolant contaminated oil. I saw it ruin a very nice completely built engine.

    LB7: Twin lag?

    Mine was laggy and smoked like hell with the PPE hot+ or whatever it was called, and that was with a completely stock engine. Get your EFI tunes, it'll make a huge difference. Idaho Rob has a ton of experience with that exact combination. At first I had that turbo combination and it's real...

    Porting to reach high rpm breathing

    Good question............

    twins or single

    Unless something's wrong the 366 as a single won't be near as nice as twinned. I had the same thing....internally gated HTT366 with a 480 and that combination drove beautifully. Don't remember boost or exact times but it was in the 11's.

    Highest Dmax hp?

    Way to go Chavis, coast the last 300' and still be in the 9's. Brett's truck first time on racing tires and way into the 9's. Real impressive street drivers.

    Camper shell with stack?

    A shell is good sleeper camoflage. A stack isn't for sleepers, forget that, and running it through the shell makes no sense. Not only look dumb, I don't know how you'd keep it from leaking in the rain. Plus the top of your shell will get covered with soot and the paint could easily sizzle...

    Highest Dmax hp?

    I don't understand how he's stayed alive this long. So many people would like to put an end to the guy.

    With forced induction, about 2% per 1000' elevation. Maybe not even that much depending on which source. Get your shit straight....mr educated.
